I like this one.

According to the legend Ewan McColl wrote then sang the very romantic song transatlantic via the telephone and Peggy recorded their love tuneā€¦Iā€™m sure others know betterā€¦and then 10 years later on came the pop version sang by Roberta Flack.

But if you are ā€˜writing it upā€™ you can turn the story darker - Ewan being a couple of years older than young Peggy - & turn it all into some ā€˜folk predatorā€™ story. First time I saw you I knew I had to have you face for my collection so I just ring you over & over & over again until you learn to be my woman. Come here!

ā€¦

I did not include the original version of ā€˜A Boy Named Sueā€™ which incredibly is also a cover version. The original is horrible
